I rode moto with Chad Reed. It was everything I hoped it would be. He's a legend. I'm humbled and so stoked to have been on the same track today with a pure demigod. Florida Tracks and Trails - if you can go there, go there.

He rode it WFO until it ran out of gas. Literally. I'll upload another picture.

I was scared shitless, and had to have Dan Truman and Reedy give me the business before I had enough sand to hit it. I'm 38, bro. It was pretty sketchy, but like both said, no worries.

That moment when you realize a 2-time Supercross champion is behind you on a 250 2-stroke coming to eat you alive.

Edited audio and photos for the WP piece on the homepage, then built it and published it.
Cleaned some camera equipment, backed up memory cards to hard drives.
Posted some videos (doing more now).
Washed and cleaned out my moto van.
Answered some questions in the forum.
Watched F1 practice (during the editing thing).
Washed two bikes.
Changed oil and prepped another.
Swapped out some parts on one so I can return to the manufacture.
Cleaned the shop a bit and organized my parts room... It was a fucking mess...
I think I'm missing something...

Due to the AIMExpo, I had about 3 hours of sleep the couple nights before and I had already been awake for over 24 hours when I saw you... so I blame sleep deprivation for my stupidity... BlushLaughing

Good to meet you as well, Race Day Live has had a big step up with you on board.

Pretty cool, especially that it was documented that you were able to throw a little sand at Reedy! Rained here all day, riding season pretty much done. Started prepping the sleds for winter...

Today is my birthday, so a group of mates and me went for a trail ride along the river this morning. Had a blast.
Now I am sitting back, having a beer and watching the V8 Supercars at the Gold Coast. Smile

I wish I would have had my "reporter cap" on better but I was just trying to ride. Reed hit this series of rollers on his 2 stroke 5th gear wide open, stretching it toes to finger tips, and it was just one of those things you have to see in person. I mean, I'm a writer and I don't have the words.

To OP, I am monumentally jealous. Sharing a track with a pro must be nuts.
To guy above me, happy birthday
To answer, I went to a wedding, and am now chilling until I go to work at 1 a.m.

Took my son to get a haircut
Played GTA5 and I am in the bad sport lobby for 8 days (the bad sport lobbies are actually funner because everyone is super aggressive and it's kill or be killed)
Cleaned laundry room, bathroom, kitchen, living room
Chilling while kids are in bed with some blended Canadian Whiskey (R&R)


Yeah, riding with Chad Reed pretty much takes the cake, awesome for you man.

Full stink bug style, sending the triple. Needed to re-wire my grips when landed. Unsure

Took this kid out for his first club day, rode myself for the first time in three weeks and had three generations of my Family out on the rac track!

My old man, myself both raced the Vets class and my little man rode the 50cc Demo class.

Back home cleaned up two bikes, then a Pizza Smile turned the lap top on to a Facebook feed full of Rossi / Marquez posts.

Will now kick back and start updating the website ready for Monday morning.

Yep, riding with Reedy certainly takes the cake. Something to talk about for a long time.

I raced mini bikes today and it was epic !! Still a good crew and some super trick bikes getting around !!
